The R 1250 R is designed for a dynamic appearance. Equipped with the all-new Boxer engine – with a maximum torque of 105 lb-ft, the reworked engine delivers more power than ever before. The variable camshaft control BMW ShiftCam is innovative technology that offers optimum performance in every engine speed range. During a relaxed cruise or a sporty tour, experience the pure thrill of riding along with the typical punch of the Boxer engine. The newly designed engine spoilers and radiator cover bring a fresh look. The basic color of the R 1250 R is as timeless as the roadster itself: Black Storm Metallic emphasizes the unadulterated look of the motorcycle. Whatever style you choose, you'll enjoy your roadster and enjoy every tour in your own way. More boxer punch. Right from the word go, you can feel the superior qualities of the Boxer engine: the variable camshaft control system, BMW ShiftCam, ensures a even power delivery in every engine speed range. With a capacity increase to 1,254 cc and a maximum torque of 105 lb-ft, the new engine offers a performance boost that is available at any time. Dynamic ESA. Dynamic ESA (Electronic Suspension Adjustment) ensures more stable and safer ride characteristics. The system automatically regulates the damping and spring preload of the telescopic fork and spring struts depending on riding conditions and load and offers the highest level of comfort and traction, even in inclined position. LED MAIN HEADLIGHT. The latest example for BMW Motorrad's innovative strength in this field is the full-LED headlight with integrated daytime riding light, which is available for the first time in series production motorcycle- the R 1200 GS. This LED main headlight illuminates the road with a hitherto unmatched light clarity as the only one of its kind in the world. The LED for the high-beam headlights is vastly different and has a strong light intensity with its two glass lenses. The automatic transition between daytime riding light and low-beam headlight is done automatically depending on the setting in the instrument cluster menu. With the daytime riding light switched on, the motorcyclist is significantly more visible and is therefore much safer. Added to this is the striking look of the horizontal "U", which – as with the light rings on the K 1600 models – are an unmistakable identifying feature of the new GS. The light unit has two LEDs each for low and high-beam, and four additional LEDs for the daytime riding light and the position light. These are fastened to a central heat sink made of die-cast aluminium. An axial fan is positioned behind the heat sink. Another air rectifier directs the warm air to the window glass and in so doing creates an air circulation in the headlight. This air circulation allows the headlight to de-thaw and also makes an active contribution towards de-icing the headlight lens in the winter. Color options Black Storm Metallic, Style HP, Mineral Gray Metallic
